Announcement
The
Motorcycle Action Group announces that Henry Marks has resigned from his post
of Chief Executive to pursue fresh challenges.
Henry
was recruited at the end of 1998 and rapidly fulfilled his primary task of

efficiency. A part of this involved managing the move of MAG's operating base
from Birmingham to Rugby.
Henry
left MAG for one year at the end of 1999 to work for Amba Rescue, returning to
employment with MAG from the beginning of 2001. Since that time Henry has
worked on a number of financial projects for MAG and has also lobbied
effectively and vigorously in the interests of motorcyclists.

Director Neil Liversidge who, as National Chairman recruited Henry said:
"I
am certainly sorry to see Henry go but it is fair to say that Henry had
achieved all his main aims and I can understand him wanting to seek out new and
more rewarding challenges. Henry is an incredibly talented and hardworking
individual. I feel that our greatest joint achievement was the welding together
of FEM and EMA to form the pan-European riders' organisation FEMA, which is commonly
acknowledged as the most effective non-business lobbying force in the European
Union. I hope that Henry will maintain his involvement in the Riders' Rights
movement in general and with MAG in particular."
MAG
will be reshaping its secretariat to better cope with the new challenges facing
MAG in the years ahead. This will involve reinforcing our specialist research
and lobbying capability with another lobbyist based in
